This blog profiles our endeavors to make my home as energy efficient as possible. I'm not a super-hippy tree-hugger...I just prefer to spend my money on fun stuff rather than giving it to utilities. Also this blog illustrates that by making some simple investments, you too can significantly reduce energy usage in in a normal suburban home to save money.

Interference confirmed...I hope
OK...so I think I've confirmed the interference. Above is a 36-hr graph....the inline filter was installed by 19:00 hours. Check out 7am yesterday versus 7am today...SIGNIFICANTLY lower peaks. Today's peaks max out around 17 kW while yesterday's peaks reached 29 kW. I'm guessing the interference may have been a result of the heat pump supplemental heat strips as it seems the extremes were exaggerated as you can see that the smaller loads appear to be consistent. I'm a little hesitant to declare victory as it's 36 degrees outside today. Well...the past two days it was ~25F. Well, that 10 degrees makes a difference in how/if the electric heat operates, as I explained yesterday. So, we'll see, I guess. This weekend show lows in the 20s again...
